Two unlucky guys who took the initiative to confront the gun, one offered a reward of 21 million Baileys, and the other 15 million Baileys.
In fact, if you look around the world, you can still be considered a pirate with some strength.
They did not disappoint Kizaru. After being tortured, they revealed a lot of useful information, which saved the navy a lot of trouble.
"The Swimsuit Pirates are gone?"
This unexpected news made Kizaru raise his eyebrows.
"Yes, Lieutenant General."
The person in charge of the torture was a branch lieutenant colonel who was proficient in criminal techniques. He reported in a deep voice:
"The Swimsuit Pirates arrived at the Jevo Peninsula last night and met with people from the underground arms dealer in a tavern. They happened to be seen by these two people."
"Originally, this time it was just a preliminary contact to finalize the order. The official transaction will not be until noon today, but it seems that the price has not been negotiated. The attitude of the Swimsuit Pirates made the arms dealer unhappy, leading to a conflict between the two parties, and eventually the entire army was annihilated."
"And it was precisely at that time that Major General Bulma led the fleet to the peninsula. The arms dealer most likely discovered them while chasing the remnants of the Swimsuit Pirates."
"Now all the information is connected..."
Nuo Xia's eyes flickered and he looked at the lieutenant colonel, "What about the subsequent movements? Do they really have no idea at all?"
"No, these two guys were also frozen into snow sculptures at that time. They just thawed after the sun came up this morning. They are lucky enough not to be solved easily."
The lieutenant colonel shook his head, "However, they did provide a useful piece of information, that is, there were many pirate groups who had failed to negotiate deals in the past and were killed by this arms dealer force."
"And the next day, the pirate group's treasures will appear in some underground exchanges on the Jewo Peninsula for sale, so they speculate that these hidden underground exchanges are likely to have close ties with the arms dealers."
"Underground exchange?"
Kizaru's eyes were slightly surprised, "I said why are all the trading places in this city so shabby? I always feel like something is wrong... How many are there in total?"
"They only know three of them."
The lieutenant colonel hesitated and said, "Maybe there are some underground exchanges with higher thresholds, but they are not qualified to access them yet."
"Then let's start with these three."
Kizaru narrowed his eyes and gave the order without hesitation:
"The two of them didn't know that some of the bookmakers and regular customers in these exchanges must have known about it, so they divided their forces into three groups and gave me all of these three underground exchanges!"
"Yes, Lieutenant General!"
A roaring response from the soldiers suddenly sounded all around.
The navy soldiers brought by Kizaru included thousands of people. The so-called troops were divided into three groups, but they were actually divided very well.
Kizaru led one team, Major General Gumir led another team, and the last remaining team should have been led by a vice-captain with the rank of commodore.
But Kizaru was handed over to Nosha, and all the navy, including the commodore, had no objections to this, as if it should be like this.
The rule that strength speaks for itself applies everywhere, especially in the military.
Based on the reputation that Nosha has built in the G2 branch in the past two months, many soldiers have long regarded him as a strong man of the level of Major General Gumir.
About half an hour later.
The three teams that had moved separately reunited at the street corner. Both Kizaru and Gumir looked a bit ugly.
It’s not that they found nothing from the underground exchange they took away. At least they confiscated some prohibited arms and weapons, and conveniently arrested a few criminals with bounties on them who didn’t have time to escape.
But it was true that no intelligence information related to Bulma's warship was found, nor was it possible to find out whether there was a more secretive underground exchange on the island.
Fortunately, at this time, Nuo Xia brought back useful news.
"Hilltop Auction House?"
Kizaru looked at the towering cliff more than ten kilometers away in the far end, with surprise in his eyes, "Where is the most secret underground exchange on the Jewo Peninsula?"
"Yes, Lieutenant General."
Nuo Xia wiped the blood on the wind sword that had not yet dried, "Those people in the ordinary exchange seemed to know nothing about that auction house. It took me a lot of effort to get it from an old dealer with a strange expression.
, broke the news..."
"After searching for an underground entrance for a long time, the target turned out to be the place closest to the sun?"
The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling. Kizaru squinted his eyes and looked at the cliff quietly for a long time before he leisurely said:
"Let's go, I'm really curious now, what is the origin of this mysterious underground arms dealer..."
…………
Among the cliffs and rock walls, in the narrow corridor.
An elevator that was as simple as an iron frame was climbing rapidly upwards.
There were several figures on the elevator, varying in height, fat and thin, but they all wore desert-like pale golden masks.
"Hey, Bart, is this the auction house where you can see everything?"
In the corner, a fat man complained in a low voice to his tall and thin companion:
"There are too many rules. Do you have to wear a mask? I'm almost choked to the point of difficulty breathing..."
"This is your first time, just get used to it, Fitz."
The tall and thin man also lowered his voice and said, "The people who come here are not only the underground predators in Alabasta, but also the big shots from other countries in the nearby sea. The mask can not only maintain their privacy, but also protect people like us who are reluctant to do so."
People who are qualified to sneak in..."
"That's true, but speaking of it, this place is really hidden."
The obese man said, "If you hadn't brought me here, I might have been searching for months in this place but I still wouldn't be able to find it..."
Clang.
While they were talking, the elevator suddenly stopped, and the rock wall in front suddenly opened, letting in warm orange light.
Under the guidance of a man in black robes, these guests wearing gold masks walked through the corridor and arrived at the hollowed-out auction house on the top of the cliff.
The seats in the auction house are distributed in a fan shape, and the overall space is not very large, only about 300 square meters. However, the decoration is luxurious, like a palace in the desert.
"There seem to be a lot of people here today."
The tall and thin man named Bart glanced around and found that most of the 200 seats were already occupied, and the previous few times he came, there were only 70 or 80 people at most.
"Sure enough, are you all here for that mysterious finale item?"
He licked his lips and looked expectantly, "I was so secretive before that I refused to reveal what it was, but I'll finally know it later..."
Although there were many people, the entire venue was still quite quiet.
Under the dim light, everyone was wearing a light golden mask, and their specific appearance could not be seen clearly.
Some, like Barthes, looked at the other people around them calmly, while others seemed to be regular visitors, lying on the soft backrest, closing their eyes and concentrating, waiting quietly.
In silence.
A white-haired old man wearing a black top hat stepped onto the auction stage, and the curtains behind him slowly opened to both sides at this moment.
"Welcome everyone to come from afar to participate in the ninth auction held by our Windsor family this year."
It wasn't until everyone's eyes were focused that the white-haired old man spoke in a low voice:
"Many of you here are regular customers, so I won't say any more nonsense."
"Anyway, this time, as usual, we have prepared a lot of rare and blockbuster products for everyone, slaves, devil fruits, special weapons, everything..."
"And at the end, there will be a mysterious finale item waiting for everyone!"
"Then, I announce that the auction will officially begin from now on!"
